Development of this model started at the same time as the Zoom 518 Super 8, marketed in December of the previous year based on the concept of a Super 8 “home movie camera easily handled by anybody.” The lens had a 3x zoom ratio instead of the 5x zoom of its sister model. The lens was newly developed, and the prism screen rangefinder in the viewfinder was omitted. Instead, a “zone focus mark” was added on the lens barrel to enable guess focusing.
Leather-grained plastic bordered by chromed metal created an advanced design, which, along with the slim body, made this a long-selling model. A detachable grip enhanced the already advanced design.
